I received my Bachelor’s Degree in History from the University of Arkansas while earning the designation “Fulbright Senior Scholar,” winning the James W. Hudson Award for the study of History, and graduating summa cum laude.. After completing my undergraduate studies, I attended the University of Colorado Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. While in law school, I served as a research associate at the Natural Resources Law Center. Prior to graduation, I gained litigation experience while serving as a student attorney in the American Indian Law Clinic, as well as working for a criminal defense firm in Denver.. My practice is varied and is focused primarily in complex civil litigation, involving personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, constitutional law, and products liability matters. A large portion of my practice also focuses on litigation and appeals involving employment law, and more specifically the defense of police officers, sheriffs, and governmental officials in disciplinary actions across Colorado in state and federal courts, and administrative tribunals. I have successfully litigated many cases to verdict in both state and federal court, and have extensive trial experience. I am a member of Elkus, Sisson, and Rosenstein’s team of trial attorneys, and I participate in all phases of the litigation process.. I am a member of the Colorado Bar Association, The Denver Bar Association, and the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.. When not assisting clients, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two dogs. I am also active in the Denver Chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

I grew up in New York City. I decided to become a lawyer after I had a bad experience of with an attorney. I was young when a family friend referred me to a lawyer who seemed to want to help. It turned out they didn’t, and I could never get in touch with them. It was a difficult process and it ended up hurting me. I realized I could do a better job than that. I pursued a career in the law, vowing to do good work for my clients.. I thought I would go into corporate law, but realized I wouldn't be helping any one and I later fell in love with trial law. The judges at one of my trial law competitions in school asked me to join their new firm when I graduated. It happened to be a personal injury firm and I have been practicing personal injury law ever since. Along the way, in my ten plus years as an attorney, I represented the insurance companies in personal injury cases. Trying multiple defense cases.. I know where the Insurance companies are coming from and I can explain to my clients how the insurance companies work. A lot of clients, when they come through my door are broken. They have been through a lot and the insurance companies are bullying them. They dont know what to do. They come to me to even the score. That is what I  aim to do for my clients. I want my clients to know they are working with someone who has their back. I want to bring them back to a position of power.. In 2015 and 2016, I was named one of the top 40 trial attorneys under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers Association.. In 2016 I was named one the tio 25 Mass Tort attorneys by the Mass Tort Trial Association

I  focus on bankruptcy matters, financial restructuring, workouts, and reorganizations, including representing debtors, creditors and trustees. Over the years, I found that many clients prefer a "hands on" approach with their attorney when dealing with their everyday financial issues - instead of being just another number. After more than a decade in practice with a boutique bankruptcy law firm, I broke away so that I could provide more personalized service to my clients.. I have a passion for outdoor activities, including road biking, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and boating.  If I am not in the office, you can usually find me on the bike or on the slopes, depending on the season, spending quality time with my family.

I’m a Colorado native, although you’d never know it as I spent the majority of my life travelling from place to place with my family. Every new school taught me how to relate to people as individuals, which is how I found my way into family law.. As a child of divorced parents, I recognize the challenges that stem from family systems change. I chose to pursue a legal career in domestic relations law in order to help guide families through change, teach families how to avoid relationship breakdown, and create paradigms to keep families together.. I returned to Colorado in 2000 as a Division I lacrosse player at the University of Denver. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve learned the meaning of the words discipline, commitment, and excellence. Off the field, I earned a B.A. in Psychology as well as the University of Denver’s Shaklee-Trowill Research Award for my work in trauma and stress studies.. My family settled in Minneapolis and I travelled home to complete by legal studies at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. While in law school I took advantage of every opportunity I could to work with families in a state of transition.. As a law clerk with the Battered Women’s Legal Advocacy Project, I obtained protective orders for women struggling with domestic abuse. I also worked with women seeking asylum and other immigration refuge under the Violence Against Women Act. My commitment to working in underserved communities resulted in over 500 hours of public service during my law school career.. Families come in many shapes and sizes and I pride myself on understanding the needs of even the most non-traditional families. I advocate for creative problem solving and preventative legal strategies. I’ve created and drafted innovative prenuptial agreements and domestic partnership agreements to plan, protect, and preserve the future of several non-traditional families.. I believe it is important to not only have the emotional commitment to family law, but the economic commitment as well. After law school, I returned to the University of Denver to complete my LLM in Taxation. The division of joint finances, property, and other assets can have a lasting effect after a divorce is final. The emotional toll of divorce is difficult enough without worrying about the ongoing tax implications of property division. My taxation background allows me to spot potential financial issues before they become a problem.. My partner and I live in South East Denver with our four year-old English bulldog. Most weekends I can be found playing flag football, hiking, camping, skiing, and creating craft beer in my kitchen.

If you ask Sean why he does personal injury work, this is the story he tells: "You know, I guess I’ve been picking fights with bullies since I was a kid. I was riding the bus home one day in middle school, and I saw another boy picking on someone about half his size. So, I stood up and told him what I thought of what he was doing. When we got off at our stop, he made it clear to me that we were going to have a fight about it. He was about a head taller than me. I don’t think I won, but I did get him to go away and leave us alone. That was a scary moment for me. But I’ve always been glad I spoke up.". About 20 years later, Sean is picking fights to help people who’ve been hurt due to the irresponsible acts of others. He’s accepted clients who were rejected by multiple other lawyers, brought their cases to trial, and won against long odds. He’s advised his clients to reject unjust settlement offers from some of the world’s largest and most powerful companies and forced those companies to pay far more than they said they would. In 2017, he helped a single mom who was permanently injured get justice from one of the largest grocery store chains in the country. The company offered only $250,000. Sean and his team obtained a jury verdict of $1.77 million. The case settled for $2.1 million after Sean and his team asked the court to add interest and costs and to increase the damages caps.. Sean’s willingness to fight means his clients often don’t have to. Sean and his team recently tried a case against a large insurance company and secured a judgment for hundreds of thousands of dollars – almost triple what the company offered to pay. That company now offers Sean’s other clients fairer settlements.. Sean and his team help people who have been injured in car, bike, vehicle vs. pedestrian, motorcycle, and truck accidents; people injured because of negligent property design, property cleaning, or property maintenance; people injured by dangerous products of all different categories; and people with a multitude of other types of personal injury claims.. Sean has also dedicated himself to helping improve the chances of personal injury victims throughout Colorado. He has accepted multiple invitations to speak about trial techniques at statewide meetings of the Colorado Trial Lawyers’ Association and other groups. He has testified in favor of fairer personal injury laws at the Colorado State Legislature. He loves working with other personal injury lawyers to help their clients achieve full justice, whether it’s talking through complex issues over the phone, sharing data about defense “expert” witnesses, or joining trial teams on tough cases as co-counsel.. But our job isn’t just about the results – our clients have often lost so much more than just the cost of their medical bills or the wages they couldn’t earn because they were hurt. Everyone at Dormer Harpring strives to live a balanced, full life because that’s what allows us to empathize with what our clients are going through. For Sean, the most important things in life are family, the mountains, and music. Sean was born and raised here in Colorado. He cherishes spending time with his wife and their dog and two cats. He loves to do just about anything in the mountains, from rock climbing, mountain biking, and skiing, to fly fishing, hiking, backpacking, and camping. He enjoys riding and working on his motorcycle. He likes to play his guitar and sing, but mostly just to himself.. If you’d like to see about having Sean help with your personal injury case, please give us a call at.

If you are charged with a DUI or DUID, or other criminal charges,I can help you. I limit my practice to defending people, just like you, charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Drugs (marijuana). I defend people charged with drug charges, assaults, domestic violence, vehicular homicides and vehicular assaults, and all other criminal cases.. Over the years I have both defended clients and prosecuted defendants so I understand what the prosecuter in your case is thinking.  I first "work your case", which means I look at every angle and every piece of evidence in your case. I have been successful in trying cases to jury trials and also dealing with prosecutors in getting the very best plea for my client.  This includes dismissals, Reckless Driving, Deferred Judgement and Sentence (DJS), DWAI, and other outcomes.. There are many ways you can "win" with your DUI case.  Sometimes a person has a record of prior "DUI" convictions and if we cannot beat the evidence in your case, then getting very little jail and work release is what that client considers a "win" in his/her case.  Also, there are other ways to win.  You can go to trial and win and get acquitted; or you can get a "Non-Alcohol" result such as a plea to Careless Driving or Reckless Driving.  I have gotten many of these for my clients.  Also, there is a "Deferred Judgment and Sentence" in some jurisdictions which means that after you do the treatment and other requirements, the Court will DISMISS your case.. There is a lot of evidence to look at in a DUI case.  What makes your case different from a "criminal case" is that much of the evidence in your case is science based.  That is why I go to DUI science based trainings and am a member of the College of Drunk Driving Defense and a founding member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association.  These provide specialized training to be able to defend YOU.. There is an important part of your defense that needs a good criminal lawyer.  I have been also practicing criminal law for years.  I will look at how the law enforcement officer "stopped" your car (4th Amendment violation), if the officer "interviewed you while in custody" (Miranda Rights), and determine if there really was "probable cause" to arrest you.. The invisible factor that I have is I am tenacious and determined to give you the very best DUI defense that I can.  Many times I have driven to court early in the morning just to add my client's case on the Court docket so I can address something in your case that needed immediate attention.  You don't know that because you are home asleep or at work.  It is going the extra mile that I do for my clients because you deserve that extra mile.. I earned my Masters in rehabilitation counseling and worked with substance abuse populations before going to law school.  This gives me an insightful perspective on alcohol and drug offenses that few lawyers possess.  I know this is a very stressful time for you and I do everything I can to help you through this and give you excellent legal direction.
